Snack ideas
So, I'm in need of some new snack ideas. I try to do a protein and a veggie or fruit, but most of my protein ideas are dairy. We do yogurt, cheese stick, cottage cheese, etc. I have a new dcg starting full time this week and she is lactose intolerant so I'm trying to come up with new ideas. We do a lot of peanut butter, but any suggestions would be welcomed :)

My kids love chik peas for snack, or black beans.
This time of year, you can do protein and a fruit as popsicles, and can make them with almond milk for the protein. I do lots of nuts at snack. |
Many of my children can't have dairy - here are some of our favorite snacks:
*Applegate turkey hotdog and raw veggie *Nitrate free ham/turkey or shredded chicken and raw (or lightly steamed) veggie *PB and apples *Ants on a log (celery, PB and raisins) *"Sushi" (whole wheat tortilla, PB and thinly sliced banana rolled up and then sliced to look like sushi) *Homemade fruit smoothies with added kale and spinach *Lightly steamed broccoli and plain triscuits *Hard boiled eggs served with fruit or sliced thin and put on wheat bread *Beans...my kiddos love black and pinto beans *Hummus and veggies or hummus and pita bread *Nuts and dried fruit (our favorite is cashews and dried cherries) |
Your lists sound great but some of my dcks wouldn't touch them. :( I love serving veggie platters with hummus. But also offer crackers because there are some here who won't touch a veggie to save their life.:rolleyes:

I love all of these ideas! Thank you!!!
